this tells me to rewrite the expression using the distributive property and then simplify plz help me and show me the work here are the questions.
15(f+1/3)
16(3b-0.25)
(c-4)d
15 f + 15/3 = 15 f + 5
Do the rest the same way.
thank you

To rewrite the expressions using the distributive property and then simplify, follow these steps:
1. Distributive property: In each expression, distribute the number outside the parentheses to each term inside the parentheses.
Let's go through each expression step by step:
Expression 1: 15(f + 1/3)
Apply the distributive property by multiplying 15 with each term inside the parentheses:
= 15*f + 15*(1/3)
Expression 2: 16(3b - 0.25)
Apply the distributive property by multiplying 16 with each term inside the parentheses:
= 16*3b - 16*0.25
Expression 3: (c - 4)d
Apply the distributive property by multiplying d with each term inside the parentheses:
= c*d - 4*d
2. Simplify each expression by performing the necessary calculations.
Expression 1: 15*f + 15*(1/3)
No further simplification can be done on this expression.
Expression 2: 16*3b - 16*0.25
Multiply the corresponding terms:
= 48b - 4
Expression 3: c*d - 4*d
Factor out the common term "d":
= (c - 4)*d
That's it! You have successfully rewritten the expressions using the distributive property and simplified where possible.
